Problem: G11 Dec not turning.
I have obviously done something to the Dec motor system - probably bumped it too hard - such that it now does not turn the scope in Dec.
I took the motor off - it was quite loose. Using the hand controller, I could see the motor spinning fine for the various speeds. I then opened up the panel on the mount and saw the 2 gears there. Both seemed fine and turned freely. Hand holding the motor in position, I could see that it engaged the gears fine. Whether by hand or by motor, when the 2 gears moved, there was no movement in Dec.
I reattached everything securely but no luck. I repeated the steps being extra careful in case I had done something wrong and tried again. This time I got movement in one direction briefly, then no further movement in either direction after that.
Has anyone encountered this before? Any ideas for fixing? I'll go search the net for info, but I thought I'd ask here in case.
